Miss You Already

Milly and Jess shared a deep and enduring bond during their formative years. Their friendship was filled with memorable experiences that shaped their teenage lives, laying the foundation for their adult journeys.

As they transitioned into adulthood, Milly married her rockstar husband, Kit, enjoying a life of comfort and stability. Meanwhile, Jess dedicated herself to environmental activism and her partner, Jago, choosing a path rooted in passion.

Milly receives shocking news of her breast cancer diagnosis, which forces her to confront the realities of her health. Although hesitant, she ultimately confides in Jess, who becomes a crucial support during Milly's chemotherapy treatment.

While Milly undergoes chemotherapy, Jess grapples with her own fertility issues, delaying IVF treatments with Jago. The weight of Milly's illness complicates her thoughts about motherhood, leading to a deeply emotional struggle.

On the night Jess learns she is pregnant, Milly finds out she requires a double mastectomy. The news exacerbates Milly's feelings of insecurity as she shares her concerns about her changed appearance with Jess, who offers her comfort.

As Milly begins to adapt to her new reality, she feels increasingly isolated from Kit, who is struggling to reconnect with her. This emotional distance is heightened by Jess's secret struggles and the pressure of impending IVF treatments.

During a surprise birthday celebration organized by Kit, tensions rise between him and Milly. Overwhelmed by the situation, she slips away with Jess under the guise of exploring the moors, motivated by a desire to connect with a barman named Ace.

After discovering Milly's deception regarding Ace, Jess confronts her friend in a heated argument. In a moment of chaos, Jess falls on the moors, a symbolic act reflecting her tumultuous journey toward motherhood and her hidden pregnancy.

Milly's condition worsens unbeknownst to her, as it metastasizes. A heartfelt reconciliation occurs when Milly reaches out to Jess, who reveals her pregnancy and the difficult circumstances stemming from her fall.

Milly shares the heartbreaking truth about her terminal condition with her children, preparing to enter hospice care. She vows to remain strong and supportive for Jess, promising to be present until after Jess gives birth.

While Jess unexpectedly goes into labor and Jago is away on the oil rig, Milly's mother, Miranda, facilitates Milly's escape from hospice to witness the birth of her grandchild. This moment brings joy amid the impending sorrow.

Tragedy strikes when Milly passes away just days after witnessing her grandchild's birth. Her death leaves Jess heartbroken, forcing her to navigate grief while discovering the love that endures despite loss.

In the years that follow, Jess finds herself pregnant again as she enjoys a joyful lunch with their two families. She reflects on Milly's impact on her life and begins to see the essence of her late friend in her own child.

Despite Milly's absence, Jess feels her spirit lives on through her child. The bond between the friends proves irreplaceable, illustrating how true connections transcend even the deepest losses.
